rdriving Points to remember
Have you rvehicle winterproofed at aqualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at aMercedes-Benz
Service Centre, at the onset of winter.
! Take care not to damage the sealing strip
and the moulding on the sid eofthe rear
window whe nscraping ice off the rear win-
dow. Winte
rtyres
Use winter tyres at temperatures below
+7 °C and on snow or ice-covere droads. Only
then can the effect of the ABS and ESP ®
driv-
ing systems be ensure dinwinter too.
Use winter tyres of the same make and tread
on allw heels to maintain safe handling char-
acteristics. G
Risk of accident
Winter tyres with atread depth of less than
4mmm ust be replaced immediately .They
are no longe rsuitabl efor winter use ,can
no longe rprovide sufficient grip .This could
cause you to lose control of you rvehicle
and cause an accident. Always observe the maximu
mpermitted
spee dspecified for the winter tyres you have
fitted. If you fit winter tyres which have a
lower maximu mpermitted spee dthan that of
the vehicle, affi xanappropriate warning sign
in the driver's fiel dofvision. This can be
obtained at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g. from aMercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Under these circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximu mspee doft he vehicle
using permanent Speedtronic 20
to the maxi-
mum permissible spee dfor the winter tyres
(Y pag e136).
Once you have fitted the winter tyres:
X Check the tyre pressures (Y page184).
X Restart the tyre pressure moni-
tor* (Y page186). G
Risk of accident
If you fit the spare wheel* whe ndriving with
winter tyres, bea rinmind that driving sta-
bility wil lbeimpaired owing to unstable
cornering characteristics caused by the dif-
ferent tyres. You should therefore adapt
you rdriving styl eand drive carefully.
Have the spare wheel* replaced at the
nearest qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist knowl-
edge and tools to carry out the work
required
.Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carrie dout at aqualified
specialist workshop. Sno
wchains
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains which
have bee nspecially approved for you rvehicle
by Mercedes-Benz, or are of acorresponding
standard of quality.
! Information about the use of snow chain-
compatibl eAMG winter tyres is applicable
for AMG tyres. Use of snow chains is only
permissible with these tyres.
If you intend to fit snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind:

Points to remember
An extensive Mercedes-Benz Service network
is also available in other countries. You can
obtain the relevant workshop directories
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Only low-octane fuel is available in certain
countries.
You can find further information about fuel
grades on (Y page 175). Symmetrical dipped beam
If your journey takes you to countries where
vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the
road to the countryinw hich the vehicle is
registered, your headlamps must be switched
to symmetrical dipped beam or be partially
masked. Oncoming traffic will be dazzled
less.
X Vehicles with headlamps that cannot be
switched over: mask the headlamps with
special masking tape.
i You can obtain this masking tape from a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. !
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use genuine Mercedes-Benz masking
tape. Your headlamps could otherwise be
damaged.
Remove the masking tape when you are
once again driving on the same side of the
road as in the countryinw hich your vehicle
is registered.
X Vehicles with headlamps that can be
switched over: have the headlamps
switched over at aqualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre. G
Risk of accident
Have your headlamps switched back to
asymmetrical dipped beam if you visit a
countryinw hich traffic drives on the same
side of the road as in the countryinw hich
your vehicle was registered. You may oth-
erwise dazzle the oncomingt raffic and
could cause an accident. Service
